I've bought and sold a number of items through Craigslist - and let's just say I feel your pain. I sometimes wonder if it's worth the hassle. This past summer I put my late brother's car up for sale on CL. I get a call from a guy about an hour away asking me about the car. No problem, everybody has questions. But then he says to me, "Ok, here's what you're going to do. You're going to drive the car out to my place so I can take a look at it." I shut him off at that point saying that if he wanted to look at the car, he could drive to me. Things went rapidly downhill from there with him eventually threatening to call the State Attorney General's Office on me. What finally shut him up was me saying to go ahead - since my cousin ran the local AG's office at the time. Man, the idiots one finds online.

Hey Dave, I'm kind of busy today to partake in the shenanigans, but I think you should help "Sgt Belinda" find a mate in the Flushing NY area..... Maybe the personal ads on CL are a good place to start, I'm sure she'd rather meet a nice man instead of driving 10hrs for an old shop truck.

.... And nothing says "we know you're a spammer" like calls from creepy old dudes responding to a strategically placed Backpage escorts ad.
